More Enron Indictments Due

Government investigators are expected to bring more charges in the Enron Corp. probe in weeks ahead as they keep squeezing mid-level managers to build cases against former top bosses Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, sources close to the case said on Tuesday.

As the inquiry into the bankrupt energy trader's collapse entered its second year, sources said the government was pressuring ex-Enron chief accounting officer Richard Causey, ex-treasurer Ben Glisan and ex-broadband services head Kenneth Rice to cooperate.

Sources said a superseding indictment of ex-Enron Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow may be brought within days. The indictment, which would replace one brought earlier this year, may name additional former executives, sources said.
